I am a co-leader of a ministry focused on helping those in-transition find work. Our ministry had served over 1100 since we began in 2001. We often have members in dire financial straits who need support and assistance. I have referred members to both St. Vincent de Paul (at our parish) for immediate help and to Catholic Charities of the East Bay for longer term help. CCEB has been very responsive to these people and has provided guidance and support. I have been donor for many years and have become one of this non-profits greatest cheerleaders.
